LCA systems doesn't like probing after PCI slot 19.
Probing slot 20 panics the system.
The following patch made it into single user mode on my AXPpci33.
I asume it will also work on multias.
I can't tell more as the tested system is a 4.1-RELEASE and I need
to update the world before further testing.
Hmm, what exactly happens when slot 20 is probed? I remember my problems
with my Multia were related to PCI interrupts. It would spit out
"dec_axppci_33_intr_map: bad interrupt pin 192" about 50 or so times and
then panic.
Wasn't this somehow related to the version of the SRM console code?
Well, 4.0 didn't panic.
That brings me to another point, for some reason, when I attempted to
upgrade the SRM, it appeared as if it wrote the firmmware successfully,
there were no errors, it went through the process, *but* when I checked
the version of SRM, it was still the same.
I really haven't messed with it at all lately because I'm waiting for a
proper serial cable so that I can plug the Multia's serial port up to one
of my linux boxen. D25M to D9M, quite possibly the most difficult cable
to assemble. I had 2 dozen various 9-25 pin adapters, and I couldn't
combine any of them with a D9M-D9F cable in any way to come out with a
D25M-D9M cable.
I've only seen this particular problem with 4.1.1 (I don't think I've
tried 4.1 yet, although I can't remember for sure).
